What are the GOOD things about Tube Sites?
 

I can't really think of much other than lots of garbage traffic.

Anything else?

It's raising a whole generation of young men to be addicted to hardcore pornography!

1) They flip the bill for hosting the videos, unlike the thousands of affiliates making programs pay. Honestly... do any affiliates even spend a nickel to promote a site anymore?

2) The traffic is usually huge, so the exposure is good.

But that's about where it ends...

In the end, they're just one of several things helping to kill our business.

- PornAddict

its giving away free porn which is awesome. I never have to pay for it

People with no attention span can still be amused for hours?

Wait.. why are we still talking about this?

i can beat off to everyones content who posts on gfy with out having to ask for a user:pw

+ Lots of money to be made

- Giving away porn for free kills sales.

heh... exactly

most torrent sites suck because they don't give you a preview. Now we have Tube sites riding to the rescue - they offer us the full graphic preview of a sites content - for FREE, so that we don't have to waste our time downloading crappy site-rips from the torrents, we can just download sites that we actually like - for FREE.

huzzah for the Tubes....





on a non-sarcastic note... I cannot fucking believe the goldmine you all are giving away for free... and succumbing to the trend like twice-beaten feild mice. 'adapt or die' my ass.

lock up all the graphic content and the surfer WILL pull out his wallet.

its not 'adapt or die' attitudes that we should be following... it should be 'take back control of our product' and get back to SELLING it.

1) They have a higher click through rate than an gallery post sites. About double.

2) The Sponsor promoted video (ie: gallery) gets more clicks than Sponsor galleries or submitted galleries. About double.

3) Each promo video is a unique URL, giving it unique search engine traffic, something almost 99% of gallery post don't or can't do.

4) If you want on site promo tools, you don't have to download, then correct for hours, and then upload galleries, to get those unique pages.

5) You can trade traffic on more pages, more niches, more targeted, even video targeted.

6) You can micro bill or upsell bill to higher quality content.

7) One system can manage all tools, ads, and related ads/tools, keeping everything better grouped/niched together.

8) Many Countries charge per mb/gig for personal bw use, so this will keep the amount of kick ass legal tubes down.

9) You can customize your player, oh can you ever customize your player.... the advantages aren't even fully understood yet.

10) You get to be part of the global traffic bubble that produces type-ins to sponsors.

My top 10 reasons why Tubes are a Good thing and better than TGP's and MGP's...

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. There's nothing to see here.

page view per unique

And complaining about it amounts to zero dollars.

If you can't beat them, then join them and compete.

What tube do you run?

:thumbsup

When they finally get sued, it will bring a lot of great sites into the news.

DVD/Magazine publishers were probably saying something similar about "The World Wide Web" back in the early 90's ... they got left in the dust. It was the Pioneers/Innovators who made $$ with the adult net. Now, 10+ years later, the new realm is upon us and guess what ... some people are KILLING IT while others are once again being left in the dust.

So the question should be ... What side do you fall on? :2 cents:

- you can get big traffic and chance to convert somehow

i do better off tubes and forums than tgp/mgp
